The video shows the teen calmly walking into his home despite the police saying he ran from them and had an altercation with them. While this itself isn’t a new case against the officers since we’ve already tracked the fatal shooting incident, it appears as though they also burst into the family’s landlord’s place without a warrant looking for a gun and held her at gunpoint, which is a separate incident now.

After the overwhelming response to the BGSU DOJ/NIJ funding crap and urging from my wife I went ahead and restarted the news feed today. Sorry I haven’t responded much to all the feedback and emails, I’ve been up for about 42 hours so far because of work, only to find out this morning that my manager has been laid off which may mean my job might be next to go. But, we little guys will keep fighting on no matter what the big guys and governments try to do to discourage us. While I still wish I could make this my full time job and give this project all the attention it deserves, I’ll keep giving it what I can anyway.

That these jokers will be making over $260k off of my idea and hard work.

I really cannot express how much of a blow it is to me that all these years of hard work that went into creating this project and running it, let alone all the sacrifice it took to keep it going through some tough times, is going to be stolen by these guys with support from the US government.

I can’t really see any point of keeping this project going right now when all I’m doing by working myself to death with it is making it easier for those people to sponge off that work to rake in tax dollars.

I’m going to take a few days off to figure this out… meanwhile, here’s a poll to see if any of you can see any real reason to keep this going now.
